The introduction of mobile devices followed by smartphones and tablet computers has created a great impact on various industrial verticals and the healthcare sector seems no exception. Easy healthcare access is a great problem for people all over the world and large numbers of individuals do not receive quality care when they need it the most.
Fueled by the huge availability of smartphones, thousands of wellness, health, and medical apps are now available for download to Android devices from online stores. Harnessing the power of Android, Healthcare Applications Development has become the prime focus of the health industry.
These new capabilities promise to change the way health care is accessed and delivered. Now doctors can easily access a lot of information about the patient's health from various sources like lab tests, medical records, and reference materials. Let us discuss some ways how an Android application can transform the healthcare industry:
Easy Access to Healthcare: With various Android apps, the need for patients and doctors to be in the same location has been eliminated. Patients who suffer from chronic diseases and live in remote areas or have very limited access to doctors find it difficult to visit the doctor in person. But with Android apps, both the physician and the patient can easily decide whether to visit in person or the service can be delivered virtually.
Access to Medical Knowledge: In many places, frontline health workers often find it difficult to access medical information or even learn from the experiences of senior colleagues.
